WIBOND Andon Board “Management by View“ for your company

Andon Board Visual Production Control

The WIBOND Andon board helps you to visually monitor your company’s production process.

The WIBOND Andon board is a visual information display for lean production. Its goal is fast, simple worker communication to ensure that problems are prioritised and addressed quickly.

In real-time, it collects, analyses, prepares and visual-ises production-specific indicators such as distur-bance variables to the worker in charge,enabling immediate performance feedback and promptly detecting deviating values. It contributes significantly to making production workers more quality-aware.

The WIBOND Andon board makes current production performance clearly visible at all times. Employees can identify with their achievements so there is a constant drive to improve performance.

Openness and visibility of communication chan-nels prevents misunderstandings and makes people take responsibility of their processes. Visibility of work-flows accelerates business decisions because conse-quences are visible and foreseeable.

Warehouse inventories are reduced because im-proved processes minimise the need for emergency stocks.

The WIBOND Andon board helps you to spot prob-lems early and address or display them on time.This increases your production output without employing more staff.

This makes the WIBOND Andon board a must for both large and medium-sized businesses.

Lean production as a corporate philosophy.

4 Andon board: Visual Production Control

Benefits of the WIBOND Andon board

■ Enables customisation ■ Can be integrated with existing corporate network (Ethernet, ProfiNet, Profibus, etc.)

■ Enables upgrade to autonomous Andon system ■ Numerous options:

▪ Version for potentially explosive areas ▪ Input and operating devices ▪ Comprehensive parameterisation and application software

▪ Audio output (e.g., MP3 files) ▪ DCF receiver, temperature sensor, many GPIOs ▪ Independent calculation of indicators on Andon board

▪ Various protection classes, e.g., IP54, IP65 ■ Enables data transfer from ERP system and/or ODBC.compatible databases ■ Wide range of accessories, e.g., signal light, signal horn

■ Easily upgraded to MDC system

■ Eco design: Energy-saving future technology ■ Quality made in Germany: developed & produced in Parkstein

This results in:

■ Ambition to perform motivation ■ Engagement to take responsibility; employee feels a "part of the whole"

■ Independent detection and correction of vulnerabilities in the production process ■ Improved quality awareness and process ergonomics

■ Stronger team and company spirit

5Scope of services: Andon system software

DisplayManager enables the following:

■ Parameterise base settings

■ Define dialogs and fields

■ Calculate trends

■ Rosters (up to 4 shifts)

■ Online connectivity

■ Program the text memory

■ Generate sequence control system

■ Custom display of time, date, and temperature

■ Parameterise counters ■ Define I/O functions (e.g., output switches in case of change) ■ Parameterise optional data integration (e.g., ERP system, database)

■ Animation: Marquee, default font, blinking text

■ Optional customisations

WIBOND software

Thanks to an intuitive, ergonomic user interface, WIBOND’s DisplayManager application software allows extremely simple configuration and parameter-isation of the Andon board.

Very often, customer-specific adjustments and/or versions are required to ensure a perfect fit with the production process. This applies to the user interface as well as to the services for integrating higher-level IT systems (e.g., databases, ERP, MES, PPS systems).

It is also possible to run Display Manager in Excel.

ACO logic and interface modules

The modular ACO series basically consists of industri-al-strength I/O modules and provides the opportu-nity of extended data capturing and control in the Andon system. ACO modules are either integrated with the industrial monitor or installed in external "breakout boxes" in machines or switch cabinets.

Use the ACO modules to integrate required peripherals (e.g., pushbuttons, screwdrivers, scan-ners, scales, signal lamps, etc.) for the visualisation system. You can also connect Andon-boards directly to the PLC. Extending the system functions pro-vides the Andon system with remote monitoring and enables you to integrate escalation and priority levels (e.g., to automatically send e-mails and text messag-es).

ACO modules:

■ ACO-AD Analog/digital interface ■ ACO-GPIO Adapter unit with potential-free

I/O

■ ACO-LAN Serial converter RS485 - RS232

■ ACO-SZL Profibus interface

■ ACO-PNET ProfiNet adapter 1PORT/2PORT

■ ACO-USB USB serial converter

■ ACO-X Ethernet serial converter

■ ACO-WLAN Wi-Fi interface

Example: Every key can programmed for a cus-tomised function.

Red key: Trigger the relay contact to detect belt stopYellow key: Call for helpGreen key: Need materialWhite key: Pre-assembly station readyBlack key: Acknowledge fault message

You can also use a WIBOND industrial touch panel for entering data.

WIBOND IPC touch panel

You can also use WIBOND industrial touch panels for entering data into the Andon system. This makes it possible to upgrade to an MDC system.
